Class 2A

Eden Prairie held the No. 1 spot in this week's Class 2A state rankings after receiving 10 first-place votes in the coaches' poll.

After going 2-4-2 from Dec. 15-31, the Eagles (19-4-2) finished the regular season by winning 13 consecutive games. During the winning streak, they held each opponent to fewer than four goals in a game and only gave up three goals twice.

Mr. Hockey finalists Nicky Leivermann and Casey Mittelstadt combined for 31 goals and 67 assists for the Eagles this season.

Edina (18-6-1) and Elk River (21-4-0) remained at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, heading into sections. The Hornets outscored their opponents 16-3 in their final three regular-season games and the Elks went 9-1-0 in the 10 games leading up to the postseason.

After being ranked No. 1 for the first half of the season, Stillwater (22-3-0) comes in at No. 4. The Ponies were unbeaten until a Jan. 14 defeat to No. 16 White Bear Lake and lost hold of the top spot in the rankings after losing to Eden Prairie on Jan. 21.

Holy Family Catholic (20-4-1) dropped from No. 4 to No. 5 following a 3-1 loss to Stillwater. Centennial and St. Thomas Academy each moved up a spot after Lakeville North's 3-2 loss to Prior Lake caused the Panthers to drop from sixth to eighth in the poll.

Moorhead (19-3-3) is No. 10 after finishing strong with a 9-0-1 record in its last 10 games, including four shutouts in their past eight games.

Former No. 1 Hill-Murray (16-5-4) was at No. 11 after losing four of its final eight regular-season games.

Delano (21-3-1) finished at No. 3 after beating its final three opponents before the postseason by a combined score of 23-1. Tigers' Mr. Hockey finalist Ben Meyers led the state in assists (53) and points (99) and finished second in goals (46).
